Advanced Windows PowerShell Scripting Video Training

Friday, December 20, 2013

I’m sitting in the USO at the San Jose airport this evening
waiting on a flight back home. A good friend and Shipmate of mine
contacted me with a bit of a virus issue. He needed a way to scan all of
his clients for this bad bug. He unfortunately did not have access to his
organizations central antivirus system.

After a bit of online research, I found
what I was looking for. Either files or registry keys that would mark a
potential infection. I wrote up some code and sent it over to him.
Yes, I could have wrote code very quickly that focused only the little critter
running around his network, but what fun would that be. This code is
reusable.

The cmdlet is Search-VirusSignature.
I included a help file to show you how to use it. It does require access
to the Active Directory module and also for all of your clients to have
PowerShell Remoting turned on.
